2006 500 x2 good or bad?

I have a line on a x2 and that model seems like the perfect fit with the 2 up seat and utility of the bed. Lots of the review videos seem to love them but many seem to be from manufacturer sales departments and not a third party tester. What are the negatives of this type machine?

Went ahead and pulled the trigger on a 2007. It needed some odds and ends so I have been scouring eBay and fb to get the things it lacks. So far we are impressed with the ride and turf mode has been great for not ripping the lawn out.

 

I'll see if I can find specific threads here to address some of the problems I'm trying to sort out.

Hope all works out

Thanks - been decent so far. I *might* have been a bit better waiting for one in a little better shape but they were $1K - 2.5K more than I wanted to spend. Even with the odds and ends (and a few upgrades), I'll be into this for quite a bit less.

It turned out to be a "deluxe" model, I think - has the Polaris / Warn winch and a front brush guard. Winch "didn't work" and found the power lead had been disconnected. We can make good use of it as long as I add enough protection to keep the plastics from melting.

      So we are almost a month into winter and I've been so busy working on my house that up until today, I didn't realize that we just haven;t gotten any real snow yet to warrant putting the plow on my grizzly. So that got me thinking, what are the latest plows out there and what ATV plows are the best? I've got 2 snow plows for my grizzly, a quadboss pile driver atv plow set up and a snowsport ATV plow. They are both a bit dated now and I tend to stick with the snowsport due to ease of use and I just like it so much. So if you have a plow on your ATV, please let us know what it is and post a picture with your atv/plow would be awesome. Would also like to know what you like and dislike about it.
      This is back a while when I did a write up on these 2 plows.... in 2009 I got the snowsport and in 2012 I got the quadboss.

      I am in the process of puting it back together after replacing the DPS gearbox.
      The manual I have states that it will need to be flashed by a dealer. Is this still true?
      Also , I have a mystery bolt That I cannot remember where it goes. M6x 70 or so.  Hex head with a flat washer.I will try to attach a pic.
      Pic is no go for now....Cox issue I will try again later
      TIA

      I bought this Eiger about a year ago it has been my runner while i worked on my other projects, except today it wouldnt crank, i suspect it is the  petcock not letting fuel through. When i bought it it had a multitude of problems, but i just ignored those and rode it any way, put it on the back burner while i worked on my other projects with more serious problems, like stuck engine ,wiring harness ripped out, and wheels locked up. Got those all sorted out and since it wouldnt crank today decided it was time to refine this one. When i got it it had a bad Non OEM carb replaced it with a cheap aftermarket until i could find a descent priced OEM to rebuild, and have been riding it ever since. It also had a bad petcock, would only run on prime, neutral light didnt work, no brakes, which are a luxury anyway, but as im getting older luxurys are nice to have, so i guess i will fix those. I paid a little more for this one, $800 but he wanted $1500, because it ran and moved and most things seemed to work, and it didnt smoke, even with the bad carb. Generally 500 is my limit for a non runner, since this one ran i upped my limit a little. So i got it out of the shed before the mice got in it for the winter and started going over it today.
       


      I would never buy a new camouflaged one because of what you see here, and it almost stopped me from buying this one, but it is what it is, not much i can do for that now, they did look nice when new, i am toying with the idea of replacing the plastics while i can still get them, but am not there yet, expensive.

       
      I think the snorkel has got to go its not hooked up anyway. Looks like a perfect mouse house.
